#TradingPairs101 Trading Pairs 101 – What Are They and Why They Matter 🔄

When trading crypto, you’ll often come across pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC — but what do they mean?

🔹 Trading pairs show the relationship between two assets:

The first asset is what you're buying or selling

The second asset is what you're using to make that trade

📌 Example:

BTC/USDT → You’re trading Bitcoin using Tether (USDT)

ETH/BTC → You’re trading Ethereum using Bitcoin

✅ Fiat pairs (like BTC/USD or ETH/EUR) help measure crypto value in traditional currencies

✅ Crypto-to-crypto pairs help you swap between different coins without converting to fiat

💡 Tip: Choose the right pair based on your goals, liquidity, and market conditions.

Some pairs have lower fees or higher volume, making your trades more efficient.

Understanding trading pairs = smarter trades, fewer surprises.
